Even as former President Trump wades through a complex web of legal woes to avoid prison, some of his allies and associates are already facing that fate.

The big picture: A striking number of people closely associated with the former president have been sentenced to prison for an array of crimes that include contempt of Congress and campaign finance violations.

The latest: Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty to perjury charges on Monday, becoming the latest member of the Trump world to face legal consequences.

• He is expected to be sentenced to five months in prison in April.

Between the lines: The specter of prison has helped spur some Trump allies to flip on the former president and cooperate with prosecutors.

• Former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell — one of Trump's co-defendants in the sprawling Georgia election subversion case — took a plea deal to testify against co-defendants that helped her avoid prison.
• Former Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro — another co-defendant in the Georgia case — also took a plea deal agreeing to testify at co-defendants' trials.
• A third co-defendant in the Georgia case, Scott Hall, also accepted a plea deal agreeing to testify against others.
